Girls Move Mountains

In the remote and rugged north of Pakistan, amidst the towering 6000-meter peaks of the Karakoram Mountain Range, Karishma, a fearless indigenous woman and co-founder of the Gilgit-Baltistan Girls Football League, champions girls' rights in a world where soccer is more than just a game. As a child, Karishma faced harassment for wearing soccer attire, and as a woman, she battles online bullying from aggressive crowds challenging the rights of girls in the mountains. She has numerous opponents, but she also has the unconditional support of her grandmother, a wise Wakhi woman who lives in a hut in an isolated village. Girls Move Mountains explores the enduring struggle for women's rights in the pursuit of a fairer world, while it shows how older generations plant seeds for the ones to come.
